May 10, 2008 Ship of Thieves! Stealing the Magic..AGAIN!!! Panama Canal FL to CA!!! Part 2

[fourmcds]

Oh John1....I have a job for you So, in class this am we were discussing our costume choices for recital and since we are dancing to a country song we are doing jeans with colored tops. Our teacher decided that we should bedazzle our jeans along the side to make everything more sparkly on stage. No one in the group could understand why the discussion of adding rhinestones to our jeans would make me laugh so much. I couldn't really explain the bedazzled conversations here so I left it alone. So, I may actually need to buy one now! John, you still up for custom bedazzle orders?!

 

[lillygator]

Bobby looks happy!

 

[HollyTyler]

Holly,

I am really curious to see how this pans out, for future reference! I am tentatively joining the dating world again and find it really hard to know what to do.

Thanks!

Jolene

Well, it hasn't worked out so well up to this point because most guys haven't been willing to only date on the nights my son is at his dad's house every week. So I keep trying. Problem is it's hard to find time to meet guys. I'm doing a speed dating event a week from tomorrow and can't wait! I LOVE doing those! Lots of fun if you're somebody who likes to talk, and we all know that suits me!

 

[littleaussie]

hope you are doing well...I bet it's cold where you are!

Yes it's cold, -30 wind chill today! When we came back last winter, my 2 year old learned a new word "Cold, cold, cold Mommy!" We didn't get that in Australia.

What's it like in sunny Florida?

Doug I love this idea. I also have pages, would love a copy of the file once you are done. Anything to have less cutting, lol.

PJ

Hey Doug, Here is the stats for sizing - will that work on your mac? This is the exact size of the ones Ken made. So, we know it works.

Hang Type Badge Holder
Max card: 2-3/4"w x 3-7/8"h, 100ct

Holly, glad to hear Bobby made it safe and sound! Looks like he is a pretty good traveler without having much jet lag Bet Tyler is going to be so excited to see him!

 

[HollyTyler]

what a shame, how old is she?

She's 12. I guess the mom couldn't handle the drama of thta age and they kept getting into huge fights (the mom and daughter) until one day, she packed up the daughter, dropped her off at her dad's with all of her clothes & belongings and said, "I give up...she's living with you now." He says he's been spending lots of extra time with his daughter because she's really upset over the situation. Understandibly. The mom is German and supposedly has a really big temper and is very strict. I remember meeting her one time all those years ago and remember thinking she didn't seem very nice. I even met their daughter when she was a baby because I remember him carrying her into Subway in her car seat carrier and putting the car seat on a table. I was nervous that she'd get knocked off on accident!

What is a speed dating event? It sounds interesting. . .

I must admit, I've tried the online dating thing. Nothing exciting to write about. Lots of guys on there but also lots of ones you want to avoid.

Or he can put Sophia to work!! That will keep her busy!

Oh, he'll be very excited! He asked me a couple days ago if he can take Bobby to school one day. I'm sure his teacher would NOT appreciate the distraction, so I told him I'd bring him one day when I pick him up from school.

Not very romanic, but what about them both coming up and doing pizza and a movie or bowling or something the kids would like? At least you would get to see him!

Speed dating is an organized event where you have a few minutes to talk briefly with 12 men and you each write on a score card whether you want to hear from the other person. Here's info I copied & pasted from their website:

Cupid.com/PreDating speed dating parties are a fun, no pressure way to meet lots of potential dates. With six-minute "pre-dates" you personally meet up to twelve single professionals and see if your chemistry is right. If it is, you privately check YES on your scorecard saying you want to get to know the person better. There's no uncomfortable rejection (giving or receiving) with this new way to speed date. Get the skinny on exactly what a Cupid.com/PreDating Party is.
With parties held in over 103 cities throughout the United States and Canada, you'll find a speed dating party near you. Reservations are limited and parties fill up quickly.
Sign up to Get Notified about events in your area and be one of the first to know - before an event sells out!

that sounds like a good idea gydell....

Maybe. Not sure. Bowling might be good. I've never had Tyler meet anybody I dated or wanted to date. Not sure about that.

That is perfect. These are the same size as the ones Ken used on the 11Nite S/C cruise. Those are the inside dimensions and they are the perfect size to hold the KTTW card too
